My fun facts today will be about 1951s Another Mans Poison; Of the project, star Bette Davis recalled, We had nothing but script trouble. Gary [Merrill] and I often wondered why we agreed to make this film after we got started working on it. Emlyn [Williams] rewrote many scenes for us, which gave it some plausibility, but we never cured the basic ills of the story.[1] This was the second on-screen pairing of then-married couple Davis and Gary Merrill, following All About Eve the previous year. Rapper, who was selected by Davis to helm the film, had directed her in Now, Voyager ten years earlier. Co-star and script doctor Emlyn Williams wrote the original play on which Davis 1945 film The Corn Is Green was based. Exteriors of the United Artists release were filmed on location in Malham, North Yorkshire, and interiors were shot at the Nettlefold Studios in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
